wells.FIRST DAY
reached the hotel after the 4hr flight and 1hr bus ride.it was a kinda cosy hotel. then head off the shilin night market.haha.the place was really busy.me and yixin went crazy at the first shop we went. they sold stocking and tights at 3 for 10 bucks.compared to 8.90 per pair in sg.but we later found tights for 1 dollar each but tats ok 3 for 10 bucks was gd enough. bought fake eyelashes for only 1 dollar plus each and masks for less than a dollar each.so shuang.den we proceeded on shopping even more.lol.bought BOOTS and flats.mostly less than 10 bucks actually.and BRAS. so cheap pls. bra sets in sg costs at least 29 bucks, over there they costs less than 10 bucks.and the designs are pretty k.aahhh.shopping heaven.haha.lost kelly along the way.then yixin and i starting shouting crazily along the streets "kelly chia!"haha.yixin started it.she was like "i dont care!no one knows me here"lol. went back with handfuls of plastic bags.caught the last train. went back to the hotel finding ourselves hungry.went to this jap restaurant thing to eat sashimi and this dunno wad salad thing but it tastes nice.ive never eaten big pieces raw salmon in my life actually so it was quite interesting.haha.wad a gd supper.

Second Day



attempted to push fake eyelashes.spent a long time putting them.lol somehow it doesn go to my eye.after a long effort it finally stick.haha so pretty but irritating to the eyes.u cant wear shades cos the lashes touches the lens.







fake eyelashes.fine not really obvious.

den went some place.i forgot.Sogo i tink.some departmental store.den went back to hotel to remove eyelashes cos they were too irritating.i wanna master the art of putting fake eyelash someday! then went WenFenPu.the place was BIG.but not much things to buy cos they were too jap and wierd to wear in singapore.lost kelly there.oh the ice blended is so nice.the ice was so fine.haha.bought only jackets there.3 actually.one for me and 2 for other ppl.gave up looking for kelly cos the place was scarily big.went back to the hotel to try and call her but in vain.so we decided to go walk ard ximenting,where our hotel was.nth much though.it looks like new york in a way with tat big screen at the junction near the road. went back to the hotel to find kelly having big plastic bags of things bought from wenfenpu.lol.she more lihai than us. it was abt 9 plus at night when we decided to go the shida night market.haha.nth much there.bought a pair of flats which costs less than 10 bucks in sg.

it was really relaxing though u gotta endure the hotness of the water at first.it will be ok once u get used to it.there's cold springs too.haha.it's basically cold water.haha.

feels like ice water actually.we actually sat there for quite a long time still cant get used to it.

then someone came to chase us out cos we weren suppose to wear anything inside.haha

went to yongkang street after hot springs.took a long time to get there cos it is quite inaccessible.the timsum there tastes so gd!the xiaolong bao was better than any xiaolong baos in singapore. the retaurant manager was nice.he came to introduce the many places in taiwan.where to shop and stuff.even offered to give us free tour ard the place

he initiated to take a pic of us.so here it is
